How do you get this quest? Neither NPC for Alliance Relations or this one seems to offer it (they aren't clickable). I'm level 39 Horde.

Found on the net:--------------------------Go see Craven Drok in Orgimmar (Cleft of Shadow). He'll give a quest (the first "Alliance Relations") to go see someone else in Ogrimmar, who is in the Valley of Spirts on the road near the west gate. He'll give you another quest to go to Ghost Walker Post in Desolace to start 2 quests.-------------------------

Hope this helps :)

If you are doing this as a shadow priest, you will love this quest.All you need to do is chuck a vamp embrace and maybe a dot on them, then just spam the drain on them, free mind flay and uninterpretable. And the best thing. It procs vamp embrace since it is shadow damage.So you have no down time since you use little to no mana. And you just need to top yourself off every now and then.

This is probably a bug though.

Finish of the Humanoids at Thunder Axe fortress with

As a rouge. Either garrote, deadly poison and rapture (with 3 or 4 combos) or Cheapshot, deadly poison and rapture on 5 combos. then press the crystal at 15-20%. That way u dont loose so much hp when draining.

The gem wont work if youre shape-shifted as a druid. Super easy at 36 though. Pounce, rake, rip, shift, gem, collect your shard and move on. Any other class with some dots, dont over do your dmg, just throw the dots on and hit the gem when they get low. As stated above can be done while on http://www.wowhead.com/?quest=5381 as well as http://www.wowhead.com/?quest=5741

as a paladin things can seem impossible at first, but you can do it alone, wait until they have under 20% life left and then cast consecration and have retribution aura activated and use the gem. its tricky but you will get the hang of it

TAF entrance is near 58, 30

Somehow everyone seems to have missed the fact that the gem does 100 damage and you don't need to use a single DoT.

Comment by azinja

Kind of a hassle as feral druid kitty. No real problem, just a bit annoying to go out of cat/bear form every single kill.

Comment by Lycanthus

This quest is a *$%^&** to do if you're level 80. Even unarmed with all your gear off and naked, 1 hit usually kills. So you gotta use the 100 damage every 3 seconds item several times just to kill them. Takes forever.

This quest counts for Loremaster of Kalimdor.

Shamans, I highly recommend that you take windfury off of your weapon before doing this quest. The instagib potential of a big windfury proc is far too unpredictable to reliably know when to start channeling the gem. Flametongue or Rockbiter will still hit them hard but smooth out the damage.

Description

Death is most desirable for those despicable creatures that turn their back on their liege for such selfish reasons. But death is not enough when dealing with those that have given themselves over to the darkness.

Take this gem. When one of the Burning Blade's near death, activate its magic. The spell shall pull the corrupted spirit out of its victim, leaving an infused gem behind.

I have tried to make the magics as simple as possible. Drawing the spirit of your victim out of its injured form should be child's play. Do not rely on the gem's power to slay your foe completely. You must only activate the gem when they are close to death, or it will be useless.

Ah, you've returned successful. That is good. Give me the gems and I shall put them someplace safe....

My tasks for you are complete, <class>. Speak to Takata when you are rested. He may have other tasks for you, or perhaps needs you to return to Orgrimmar to inform Keldran of our progress here in Desolace.
